A genre is a way of categorising films by their themes such as horror, comedy, action etc.
There are also sub-genres which are subdivisions for a films genre, such as combining two genres such as the main genre, romance, and the sub genre, comedy. Then there are hybrid genres which are a combination of two main genres in a film.
A Nightmare on Elm Street is a extremely popular horror film which came out in 1984. It has an original story line with the character of Freddy Kruger who haunts the dreams of teenagers, killing them in their dreams. The reason I really enjoy this particular type of genre is due to the fact that it's very suspenseful and the way it makes you feel.
Mean Girls: Teen film/Comedy
Mean Girls is a classic chick flick with the sub-genre of comedy that came out in 2004, which is one of my favourite genres as it is describes the fantasy life of a teenager in a typical american high school.
Shutter Island: Thriller/Drama
I believe that Shutter island is a hybrid of both thriller and drama, which came out in 2010. The reason I chose Shutter Island is because the film has a clever and unexpected ending. The reason i really enjoy the genres of Thriller and Drama is because they are very mysterious. suspenseful and interesting.
